joke service quote service dictionary service - look up words for your user translate service - translate something into a different language conversion service - convert inches to feet time service - find out the time in any city
Just some ideas of the easy services that could be written and then your bot can use these and provide lots of extra functionality to your users without extra coding on your part. |

Cleaned this topic up a bit. As usual chat somewhere else.
BTW: You don't have to know that anyones server is up 24/7 because it looks them up dynamicaly so if yours is down it will pickup someone elses. The more people with the more services, the more reliable. _________________ Eric256

o.O
Do the services look like this:
| Code: | | my $var = get "http://botwork.com/file.pl?blahblah.."; |
Because if so, THAT server is the one trying to get info from and if it's down.. then what? |

Botwork services are like web services. They can be hosted on web servers, but also on any server that takes a request and returns a reply.
But most services will be on web servers, so they are available 24/7, just like web servers. |

It will probably be just a little harder than making a command for your bot.
So for you, Future Owner, yes they will be VERY difficult to make. |
